We knew that after the national media got a look at Ginger Gibson, she wouldn’t be long for this one-horse town. We got a tip that she has accepted a position with the Newark (pronounced new-irk) Star-Ledger in New Jersey. This is a shame for Delaware, as she was one of the good reporters over at the News Journal. Her coverage of the exploits of Christine O’Donnell have garnered her national media attention in the past few weeks.
But prior to that, Ginger has been a good reporter doing the grunt work that is required to cover Delaware politics. In addition, she has been a pioneer at the News Journal in the effective use of Twitter and Facebook. I hope that the News Journal will replace her with someone with an equal amount of integrity and tech savvy.
